Okay here's how it works. You give an alternate name for a character and the rest of us half to geuss his more common name such as this easy one. Q:Who is Mithrandir? A: Gandolf the Grey. Well i'll start of and hope some others try it. Who was known as Camlost?

Beren? I'm new to Tolkien, so if I'm wrong, and that's a stupid answer, that's why.
Arwen

11-18-2002, 09:51 AM
Maybe you are new to Tolkien, Arwen, (so am I,) but I get the same result. I too think it's Beren - Túroch? smilies/cool.gif
Túroch
11-18-2002, 12:45 PM
Quite correct Arwen1858. The right answer is Beren. Camlost means empty handed. The elves called him that after he cam before Thingol without a Silmaril. You ask one now.
Arwen1858
11-18-2002, 02:37 PM
I'm not sure how hard of a question this is for those of you who have been reading Tolkien for years, but here goes... Who was Alatáriel, and for extra points, who gave this person that name?
tom bombariffic
11-18-2002, 03:10 PM
Alatariel was Galadriel, and is an ancient name, but I dunno who gave it to her. Do I still get the points?
tom bombariffic
11-18-2002, 03:14 PM
Right then, new question. If I were to wish you a good "loa", what race would I be and what on earth would I be talking about?
Lindolirian
11-18-2002, 03:17 PM
uh, hate to burst your bubble, but when I posted, I was posting my answer which came seconds after yours. When I found you had posted first, I deleted my post so as to not take up room. But you must have thought it to be a confirmation, however I did not ask the question, so I cannot conform it. We usually wait for the asker to confirm. BTW, Welcome to the Downs!!! smilies/smile.gif
Arwen1858
11-18-2002, 03:39 PM
Yes, it is Galadriel. The name Alatáriel was given to her by Celeborn. Your turn now, tom bombariffic! Oh, welcome to the Downs and have fun being dead!! smilies/smile.gif
Arwen, Queen of Gondor
tom bombariffic
11-18-2002, 03:52 PM
sorry guys, way to make the new guy feel bad! there was a thingy from arwen saying I was correct, so I wrote a new question, and then when I looked her conformation had gone. Sorry anyway though. can you answer the question?
tom bombariffic
11-18-2002, 03:55 PM
just to clarify this, the question I asked at the wrong time was: If I were to wish you a good "loa", what race would I be and what on earth would I be talking about?
good luck and I hope I havent ****ed off too many people
Túroch
11-19-2002, 12:52 AM
Loa? I'm not sure but doesn't Loa mean one year in elvish?
tom bombariffic
11-19-2002, 04:14 AM
Congrats, that is correct! well, now you can write your question. make it a good one
Bombariffic
Túroch
11-20-2002, 01:10 AM
Well since I did one just a little while ago i'll let someone else have a go if they will.
Oh and i'm not sure that the Loa question is a good name question. I'm more looking for names of people not exactly things.
Curulin
11-20-2002, 10:07 AM
okiedokie, ill submit a question if nobody else will: if i were looking for Orald who would i be looking for, and, for a bonus, who calls him/her this?
tom bombariffic
11-20-2002, 10:11 AM
Orald was my namesake's name to men of the north
Bombariffic

OK, can anyone tell me who aiwendil is, and for extra points which race he/she might be associated with? (apart from his own)
Rimbaud
11-20-2002, 11:21 AM
Aiwendil was the original name of the Istari later known as Radagast the Brown.
Who was known as The Tall?
Frodo Baggins
11-20-2002, 12:45 PM
Well there are several elves know as "the tall" Maedhros for instance...
Bit there was one man that was know as "The tall"
Elindil the Tall
father of Isildu and Anarion
Lindolirian
11-20-2002, 02:27 PM
Galdor the Tall, but then i think there were a lot of people called "the Tall", but I read about him in the Sil today and it just stuck in my mind for some reason.
Túroch
12-02-2002, 08:22 PM
Sorry to step out of line Lindolirian but it's been about 2 weeks since you posted last and i've got a really good one. So here goes:
Who was known as "Star of Radiance". For extra brownie points who was Called "Star of Hope".

Beren87
12-04-2002, 04:17 PM
Fingolfin was the first High King of the Noldor...just a guess though.
Túroch
12-05-2002, 01:52 AM
Congratz TolkienGurl a capital guess. You are correct Gil-galad means "Star of Radiance" Gil-Estel means "Star of Hope" and is the Sindarin name for Eärendil. Well the balls in your court now.

Oh tricky one, first for some reason I was going to say Earendil, but its not, its Cirdan . Am I correct?
Pallando B.C
12-23-2002, 06:09 PM
Close. Eärendil's name means 'Lover of the Sea' and is also called many other things like; 'The Blessed' and 'The Mariner'
And Círdan was 'The Shipwright'
Try Again though, you're on the right track.
Beren87
12-23-2002, 06:21 PM
There dwelt those of the Sindar who still loved ships, and Círdan the shipbuilder was their lord; but between Círdan and Finrod there was friendship and alliance,
Ok, thats where I got Cirdan from, but its not the answer you want (thought it is a possible one!). SOOOO, is the answer you want Tar-Ciryatan?

Which of Feanor's sons was indirectly named after him?
Beren87
04-27-2003, 08:34 PM
Well, I guess you could say Curufin [fifth son of Fëanor] which has the birthname [more or less, same meaning] of Fëanor.
Sophia the Thunder Mistress
04-27-2003, 08:40 PM
Hence indirectly. smilies/smile.gif Your go Beren.
Sophia the Thunder Mistress
05-05-2003, 11:49 PM
yet again... Beren?
Beren87
05-06-2003, 07:21 PM
Woops, looks as if it's my turn.
Which sword went from flame to death when reforged?
Cryptic, but it makes sense when you see it.
The Saucepan Man

Anglachel/Gurthang.
Anglachel meaning 'Iron-flame' and Gurthang meaning 'Death-Iron'.

Tell me, do you cook as fast as you answer? You would dirty many a saucepan during a long day!
Correct, o'course.

What was an Ohtar?
Sophia the Thunder Mistress
05-06-2003, 08:02 PM
A man. The squire of Isildur who survived the Disaster of the Gladden Fields.
The Saucepan Man
05-07-2003, 05:58 PM
Ah yes, but I'm looking for the meaning of the name ... smilies/tongue.gif
Beren87
05-07-2003, 06:47 PM
Hence the title, The Name Game. smilies/wink.gif
And it's Sindarin for warrior.
The Saucepan Man
05-07-2003, 07:30 PM
Can you give me a bit more? smilies/evil.gif
Beren87
05-07-2003, 07:40 PM
Not really.
From what I've discerned, it's more of a rank than anything else. Seems odd that it's used as a name.
Arwen Imladris
05-13-2003, 02:06 PM
All that I found about him was:
Ohtar, The squire of Isildur: The squire of Isildur. One of only three survivors of the Disaster of the Gladden Fields, Ohtar rescued the shards of Elendil's sword, Narsil, and brought them safely back into the North.
The Saucepan Man
05-13-2003, 06:46 PM
Oops! I'd forgotten about this one.
Well, I think that Beren has it, since it does mean "warrior".
In the footnotes to Disaster at Gladden Fields in UT, it is noted that ohtar, meaning "warrior soldier", was the title of all who, though formally trained and experienced, had not yet been admitted to the rank of roquen, "knight".
Beren87
05-13-2003, 08:58 PM
Aha, that's a good question. I'll make sure to talk to lindil about that in the CGtME.
What was the hollow-dwelving?
Orofaniel
05-22-2003, 03:18 AM
I am only guessing here....But I think the hollow-dwelving has something to do with hobbits, or hole-dwellers as they also were called. smilies/wink.gif Maybe the hollow-dwelving was their houses or something like that....or maybe I am completly wrong..
Orofâniel
Sophia the Thunder Mistress
05-23-2003, 07:21 PM
I would guess Moria, as 'dwelving' generally refers to dwarf "architecture". But I couldn't find anything anywhere that confirmed my guess...
Sophia
Beren87
05-24-2003, 12:33 PM
Your both wrong (at least, I'm pretty sure you are, I can't remember what the answer is at the moment, I'll have to find it again. But neither of those answers are correct)
Sophia the Thunder Mistress
05-24-2003, 04:07 PM
Oh that's very reassuring, Beren. smilies/wink.gif
My next guess is Menegroth.
Beren87
05-24-2003, 06:10 PM
I don't think so..
Arwen Imladris
05-24-2003, 06:49 PM
Do you want to go and check and then give us a hint?
Beren87
05-24-2003, 07:20 PM
Well screw, no wonder I couldn't find it, I spelled it wrong.
How about "Hollow dwelling"
Orofaniel
05-28-2003, 08:24 AM
I think we need a clue...... smilies/eek.gif
Beren87
05-28-2003, 05:37 PM
It's a cave-type place.
Durelin
06-05-2003, 11:05 AM
Are you sure you didn't spell it right the first time? Because then I'd say Nogrod (meaning dwarf dwelling, actually) or Novrod, the original elvish spelling of it, a Dwarf City from way back when...
If it is still 'hollow dwelling', I'll say Novbar or Novmar. That is the name in elvish meaning 'hollow dwelling', though I don't remember it ever being used...eh?
I'm confused. Of course, it is Beren...

Beren87
06-06-2003, 08:16 PM
Nogrod actually does mean "Hollow dwelling", at least according to The Silm.
Your turn Durelin!
Durelin
06-08-2003, 12:25 PM
Really? Hmmmm...close enough...
Okay, I'll make it interesting...maybe...
I burn you leaping for joy!
What is my name???
smilies/biggrin.gif
A bit strange, but...Beren is on this thread, so I must be careful... smilies/biggrin.gif
Arwen Imladris
06-08-2003, 02:09 PM
Ancalagon?
Glaurung?
Scatha?
Smaug?
Durelin
06-11-2003, 05:09 PM
Oops! I just realized I screwed up...I need help, seriously...
Just forget that one thing, sorry...here's the REAL thing, if you know what I mean...
This name is a bit repetitive in my mind. It means 'what the sun is'- sun
I didn't want to just give the meaning...I like to make it hard...so if you need a clue, I'll stop my nasty ways of confusing people, or I'll just give you a plain clue. Right...
Arwen Imladris
06-12-2003, 02:32 PM
Is it Laurelin, the Golden Tree?
Anar?
Anardil?
Anárion?
If not then do you want to give us a hint?
Arwen Imladris
06-19-2003, 09:15 AM
Perhaps Urulóki?
Malbeth the Seer?
If not then please, another hint!
Arestevana
06-19-2003, 11:38 AM
Elanor?
El- star
anor- sun
and the sun is a star...
Durelin
07-04-2003, 09:50 AM
Whoops, I forgot about you people! *ducks* Agh! Don't hurt me!
Anyways, yes, Arestevana, you are correct indeed! Pretty simple, eh? Your turn!
The Saucepan Man

OK folks, I have noticed that this game has veered away from its original rules:
Okay here's how it works. You give an alternate name for a character and the rest of us half to geuss his more common name such as this easy one. Q:Who is Mithrandir? A: Gandolf the Grey.
Recent questions, however, have been concerned with names in general rather than just names of characters. As such, the thread is too similar to the Names of Middle-Earth (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=000268&p=5) thread.
So, please can everyone make sure that all future questions follow the guidance above, so that this thread does not become liable to closure as a duplicate topic.

Need a hint? He/She/it was killed by Eärendil.
Faenaduial

Yippi!
How about another name for: Fimbrethil.
Mariska Greenleaf
09-07-2003, 05:40 AM
That would be Wandlimb, Treebeard's beloved entwife.
Arwen Imladris

Yup! Your go!
